The first monkey to survive a trip to space was named 'Able', lofted in 1959. Lesser known was the way he inadvertently destroyed human relations with the "Bananaliens". The problem has never been repaired.

... and this was my other idea... I might just sit this one out . I guess that is what I get for not getting on the ball sooner this week. Good job on the design. I especially like that you have 7 stars surrounding the space shuttle which I assume stand for the 7 astronauts that were killed in the disaster. Good job

There are 10 types of people: those who know binary, and those who don't.

It's dirty to me now. They went all commercial. I remember stalking the shops, hitting F5 like mad, hoping to catch bottled faeries on the refresh... or finishing faerie quests... or waiting anxiously each week to see if I was in the Ne*pian times... Eventually there were so many ads I had to leave.

tiaermen - Really? I looked all over to see exactly what version was released in 1986. Was the disc released in the U.S.? I was pretty sure the cartridge was released in 1987. ...and thanks. =D

They did go all commercial, that's true. I use Firefox with adblock, though, so advertising really doesn't even enter my radar.

i hate warhol.
this however is totally awesome.
maybe because it's your own artwork, not just a copy of someone else's in horrid colors.
or maybe it's the lack of said horrid colors.
maybe it's that monroe is dead.
D. all of the above.

Not to knock Zenne's work, which is top notch as always, but in all fairness, she could have put in 1/8th of the effort and still come out on top of Mr. Warhol.

Past that I agree with everything you said. It shows that, if Warhol had a shred of creativity, a smidge of skill, and wasn't obviously totally colourblind, he might have been good enough to warrant a footnote in a legit art discussion.

also, the overhead lighting appears to be directly over the background or the astronaut, yet all of the shadows are going in the same direction. I think it would look better if the camera had an old-school flash
